The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has launched a statewide effort after weeks of heavy rainfall have brought with it an increase in the number of potholes. pic.twitter.com/Ie1o4co2Rh

While the SCDOT wants the public’s help in finding roads to fix, it asks that you remain safe when making a report, meaning no texting or internet surfing while driving, according to its website.

Damage caused by Palmetto State roads is a serious problem. S.C. “has paid more than $48 million since 2010 to settle claims of personal injury and vehicle damage caused by the state’s failing roads,” The State reported.

In the winter, potholes are a constant challenge for drivers. This video from the Utah Department of Transportation shows how potholes form because of winter weather.
